A direct attack.
A direct attack.
On an entrenched enemy.
Is dangerous.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
Without any artillery support.
Is practically suicidal.
As ‘orcs’ troops.
Learned on Saturday.
One ‘orc’ blogger.
Moaned in a missive.
“Why do these fools?
In uniform still?
Get to decide?
Who lives and who dies?”
The blogger was referring to.
The disastrous Saturday assault.
By the ‘orcs’ 123rd.
Motor Rifle Brigade.
On positions held by the ‘elves’.
10th Mountain Assault Brigade.
Around Bilohorivka.
In eastern ‘elves’ Donetsk Oblast.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
On an entrenched enemy.
Is dangerous.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
Without any artillery support.
Is practically suicidal.
The 10th Mountain Brigade.
Was ready and waiting.
When four ‘orcs’ battalions attacked.
Each with potentially dozens of vehicles.
Normally an ‘orc’ commander.
Would order.
His supporting artillery.
To bombard.
An ‘elves’ position.
Ahead of an attack.
In order to suppress.
The defenders.
For some reason.
The 123rd.
Motor Rifle Brigade’s commander.
Did no such thing.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
On an entrenched enemy.
Is dangerous.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
Without any artillery support.
Is practically suicidal.
“An unprepared attack.
Without accompanying support.
Was doomed to fail.”
The blogger wrote.
Sure enough.
The ‘elves’ blasted.
The approaching ‘orcs’.
BMP fighting vehicles.
And up-armored turtle tanks.
With Stugna-P.
Anti-tank missiles.
And explosive drones.
Leaving at least eight vehicles.
Wrecked or abandoned.
Along the main road threading.
From Bilohorivka to Vyimka.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
On an entrenched enemy.
Is dangerous.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
Without any artillery support.
Is practically suicidal.
Those eight struck vehicles.
Are just the ones.
The 10th Mountain Brigade.
Caught on camera.
There may be many.
More ‘orcs’ losses.
“We suffered heavy losses.
In tanks and.”
“Infantry fighting vehicles.”
The blogger complained.
“With many soldiers killed.
And even more wounded.”
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
On an entrenched enemy.
Is dangerous.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
Without any artillery support.
Is practically suicidal.
Five days later.
The wounded survivors.
Of the failed assault.
Were reportedly still lying.
In a nearby treeline.
Awaiting evacuation.
That showed no sign.
Of coming.
“It’s the third year of.
The special operation.
Yet commanders.
Continue to lie.”
“And make mistakes.
Disregarding the lives.
Of their soldiers.”
The blogger wrote.
A direct attack.

On an entrenched enemy.

A direct attack.
A direct attack.
Without any artillery support.
Is practically suicidal.
A year after launching.
A powerful counteroffensive.
All along the 800-mile.
Front line of the wider war.
‘Orcs’ forces are advancing.
Along several key axes.
But ‘orcs’ gains.
Along the axis between.
Bilohorivka and Vyimka.
Have been minimal:
A couple of miles.
At most.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
On an entrenched enemy.
Is dangerous.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
Without any artillery support.
Is practically suicidal.
If the recent ‘orcs’ assault.
Is any indication.
Poor leadership might be.
The main reason.
Poor leadership might be.
The main reason.
The ‘orcs’ are underperforming.
In this sector.
And there are few prospects.
For positive changes.
In the command structure of.
The 123rd Motor Rifle Brigade.
The unit’s commanders.
“Are not afraid.
Of punishment.”
The blogger pointed out.
A direct attack.
A direct attack.
On an entrenched enemy.
Is dangerous.

Without any artillery support.
Is practically suicidal.
*Because I read “A Russian Commander Neglected To Order Artillery Support For His Troops. The ‘Doomed To Fail’ Assault Was A Bloodbath.” by David Axe on 8 Nov 2024 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
So, I wrote this poem.
